The Scottish Womens History Network is hosting a conference entitled
Sex and the Citizen: Political and National Identities, 1500-2000
on Saturday 9 October at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. Though a
day conference in Scotland will be inaccessible to most members of
H-Women, we wanted to take this opportunity to tell you more about the
Scottish Womens History Network. The network "exists to promote
study and research in women's and gender history, particularly for those
working in Scotland or working on Scottish themes. It has a commitment
to history at all levels and aims to provide a network of information and
support to all." For more information on SWHN and to learn about
additional programs or conferences, please refer to our webpage at

The conference in October includes a wide range of historical debates
on political and national identities in Britain, Europe, and the United
States during the last 500 years. Participants will include: Lynn
Abrams (Glasgow), Esther Breitenbach (Edinburgh), Catriona Burness
(Independent), Helen Corr (Strathclyde), Johanna Geyer-Kordesch
(Glasgow), Sue Innes (Edinburgh), Catriona MacDonald (Glasgow
Caledonian), Jane Rendall (York), Sian Reynolds (Stirling), and Debbi
Simonton (Aberdeen).

For further information on the conference people should write or e-mail
